Story4.5 out of 5 stars 27
Everyone looks forward to retirement, but how many people are financially prepared to retire? A survey by the United States Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Participation found that up to 49 percent of people aged 55 to 66 years are not financially prepared to retire. In fact, many people have loads of debt that they are yet to clear. Others only have a lump sum saved up that can barely last them a few years. You need not worry about outliving your retirement income when you can find ways to generate massive income that will last a lifetime.

Recent statistics suggest that nearly two-thirds of Americans regret not planning properly for retirement. We tend to underestimate the key factors of retirement planning: our total lifespan; the probable length of our retirement; and, perhaps most significant, how much money we’ll need to fund those years in retirement. In fact, retirement planning can feel so overwhelming that many of us put off thinking about it at all until it’s too late to make the necessary changes.

Today people worry that they're going to run out of money in their older age. That won't happen if you use a few tricks for squeezing higher payments from your assets - from your Social Security account (find the hidden values there), pension (monthly income or lump sum?), home equity (sell and invest the proceeds or take a reverse mortgage?), savings (should you buy a lifetime annuity?), and retirement accounts (how to invest and - critically - how much to withdraw from your savings each year).

The index fund was just one innovation fueled by The Vanguard Group founder Jack Bogle's radical idea in 1975 to make investors the actual owners of his new fund company. The end result was powerful: a fund company for the people and by the people. But Bogle's impact and this "great cost migration" reaches well beyond index funds into many other areas, such as active management, ETFs, the advisory world, quantitative investing, ESG, behavioral finance, and even trading platforms.

So you just gave notice at the job you have worked almost your entire life that you have decided to retire. But until your last day, the excitement has deterred you from thinking how you would like to spend the remaining time you have here in this lifetime. If you begin to think negatively about what your retirement may have to offer you, then you have come to the right place. Retirement should not be seen as a stage of life that lacks in luster. It should be a time that is seen as positive, uplifting, inspiring, and adventurous.

To be clear, this audiobook is not about the typical garbage peddled by most insurance agents. Rather, an alternative to the risky investment strategies taught by Wall Street. It details a highly efficient form of cash value life insurance designed to supercharge your savings and stockpile wealth.

An Excellent Intro for the New Investor
- By Amazon Customer on 05-14-20
By: Brandon Marks
Publisher's Summary
Canada’s number one best-selling retirement income book is now completely revised and updated. Vettese will show you how to mitigate risk and secure your financial future in these unpredictable times.
As COVID-19 rocks the economy in an unprecedented black swan event, retirees and those who are preparing to retire need answers to pressing questions about their financial futures. Originally published in 2018, the second edition of Retirement Income for Life has been completely revised and updated, and now includes:
- New chapters on early retirement, retiring single, what to do when one spouse dies young, and more.
- Three strategies for mitigating your personal financial risk in the current downturn in equities and other investment products.
- Advice on how to plan for (and even benefit from) the coming bear market resulting from COVID-19, which will create unprecedented equity buying opportunities, possibly as early as 2021.
- Information on the impact of unbearably low interest rates on annuities and fixed-income investments and what to do if you hold them.
- The reasons retirees should be deferring CPP until age 70 and why the case for this is stronger than ever.
Author Frederick Vettese demystifies a complex and often frightening subject and provides practical, actionable advice based on five enhancements the listener can make to mitigate risk and secure their financial future. With more than 1,000 Canadians turning 65 every day, the cultivation of good decumulation practices - the way in which you draw down assets in retirement, ideally to have a secure income for the rest of your life - has become an urgent matter that no one can afford to ignore.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Everyone looks forward to retirement, but how many people are financially prepared to retire? A survey by the United States Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Participation found that up to 49 percent of people aged 55 to 66 years are not financially prepared to retire. In fact, many people have loads of debt that they are yet to clear. Others only have a lump sum saved up that can barely last them a few years. You need not worry about outliving your retirement income when you can find ways to generate massive income that will last a lifetime.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 27
Everyone looks forward to retirement, but how many people are financially prepared to retire? A survey by the United States Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Participation found that up to 49 percent of people aged 55 to 66 years are not financially prepared to retire. In fact, many people have loads of debt that they are yet to clear. Others only have a lump sum saved up that can barely last them a few years. You need not worry about outliving your retirement income when you can find ways to generate massive income that will last a lifetime.

American retirees face a looming crisis. We are living longer than ever before, and most experts predict a dramatic rise in tax rates within the next 10 years.

But when traditional retirement distribution strategies won't provide sufficient income in the face of higher taxes, what can you do?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 234
Recent statistics suggest that nearly two-thirds of Americans regret not planning properly for retirement. We tend to underestimate the key factors of retirement planning: our total lifespan; the probable length of our retirement; and, perhaps most significant, how much money we’ll need to fund those years in retirement. In fact, retirement planning can feel so overwhelming that many of us put off thinking about it at all until it’s too late to make the necessary changes.
